• Bridges

From the founding of Smokin' Word Productions our exsistance has been dependant on relationships. This page is dediacted to all the companies we have worked with. Our first plays were produed in theatre fesitivals. Not only do we co-produce events and products wth other companies, but also participate by offering our services for free or discount. Sometimes we even have the pleasure of offering our own knowledge to companies with less experience. We are proud to be part of a greater artistic community. Each project we collaborate on creates a bridge between us.
